Scrambled Sentences in Reverse

I love finding a new spin on an old activity. For months now, my kids have been unscrambling sentences during reading tubs. The sentences started off super easy and short, then became longer, then capitalization and punctuation were left out... Now this activity is getting too easy (which is a good thing, right?)

So, it's time for a twist on the ol' scrambled sentence. After reading Julie Lee's post about mirrored words I had an idea. The kids will use mirrors to read each reversed word; then they can unscramble the sentence. I'm hoping this will add a little pizzaz to this activity.

I decided to go with a spring theme as wishful thinking that spring will be here soon. Plus it makes it a little more versatile to use anytime between now and May. Click {here} to download a free copy. Please let me know how it goes if you try it with your kids.

Hey Jen! I Googled how to reverse a font. A what do you know? There's a reverse font! It's called KG June Bug Reverse. You still have to type each word backwards (starting with the last letter-- which kinda gave me a headache!), but each letter of the font is reversed-- does that make sense?Lauren

About Me

I graduated from Samford University in 2004. I have taught first grade for the past 7 years and love it. I teach at an awesome school in Alabama (which also happens to be where I went to school many years ago). I love my students and my amazing first grade team. I am married to my high school sweetheart. We have two children-- ages 5 and 2.
I named my blog "Just Add Clipart" because clipart makes even the most boring things more fun to teach and learn.
